13 CommentsUPDATE 10:03 PM: Fear not, commenters once fearful that our hero had up and left us forever. Tipster (and upcoming Senior Wisdom profile) Nat Gale has just spotted Hawkmadinejad and snapped a photo that we’re pretty sure Dining won’t be postering around John Jay.
Astute and protective tipster Jon Hill informed Bwog that he had noticed a poster outside the entrance to John Jay Dining Hall that features the likeness of campus hero and bird-about-town Hawkmadinejad.
It seems that Dining Services has taken tipster-generated photographs of our hero from the Hawkmadineblog and has reproduced them to advertise dining plans. Though why Dining thinks that particularly bloody photos of a hawk devouring a squirrel on a grassy knoll will convince students to sign up for a meal plan is beyond us.
While the bottom-most Hawkmadinejad on the poster does have a speech bubble that reads “Have You Seen My Blog?”, Dining Services doesn’t credit the photographs as the masterpieces of photographer/French Department administrator Isabelle Chagnon.

@Bwog Oh, hush. Blogs use copyrighted images all the time without crediting them. And I’ve got to hand it to housing & dining: this is pretty clever.
@this poster is telling us to eat squirrels and rats, not buy meal plans
@Well, He does get those rats from John Jay Dining Hall…
@they actually do something funny like this every year…last year they made fun of the matthew fox thing
@jeets saw him in riverside park around 108th this weekend…
@... i actually think this is pretty cool. i guess they could have done a better job at crediting the source, but that said, at least they did to some degree. (or at least threw a hint in there, which quite frankly, is likely to draw more attention to the source than a straight name credit ever would…)
somebody in their department is actually having a little fun. it’s cool. (especially considering the ultrablandness one normally sees out of big bureaucracies)
@Anonymous is my favorite bwog tipster
@Where is he? Let’s face it, he hasn’t been seen in a while — may have moved on to greener pastures…
@untrue i had two friends see him right before the varsity show on sunday afternoon. he lives!!! rabble rouser!
@alexw Austin Mitchell saw him during the KCST spring show.
@aww HALE naw.
No one uses Hawkmadinejad.
@ahhh haha that is fucked up, as if john jay wasn’t unappetizing enough they advertise with dead rats. i hope the tour groups like that one
@"Where's... “Where’s Hawkmadinejad?”
“I’ve got a gut feeling Hawkmadinejad’s around here somewhere. After all, isn’t there a little of Hawkmadinejad in all of us? In fact, you might even say we just ate Hawkmadinejad and he’s in our stomachs right now!…No, wait, scratch that last one.”
